QFG3: The entire program crashes if you try to take another Gem of the Guardian

Reported by: SemperFu Owned by: sluicebox
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCI
Version: Keywords: original
Cc: Game: Quest for Glory 3

Description (last modified by m-kiewitz)

This looks to be similar to https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/11411

I actually picked up a Gem and died when I first met the guardian, it did not crash then. It was actually when I came back days later and I tested doing it again that it happens now. I also just realized this is an older version of QFG (1.0) and GOG has 1.1 but I can't load my saved games from the newer on o I can't test on it but I have attached my 1.0 save.

Can you please check using the original interpreter?

Is your version from GOG?
If so, maybe it's one of the fan patches that were (sadly) included by GOG (not required in ScummVM and actually harmful)
That was the result of the other ticket.

Thank you for reporting this and attaching a save. Fixed in: 6ef5aaec6e2b9883be16da54fbf06bdef2629531 -- the fix will be in next daily build. Just barely in time for the upcoming release! =)

This is a script bug in all versions of QFG3. It's unrelated to bug #11411, it's just a coincidence that they're so remarkably close to each other. Bug #11411 was a bug in a fan patch which GOG includes.

Actually, this is script bug in the underlying Actor class that all games include. This is the only QFG3 room that uses this "blocks" feature which contains the bug. Sierra fixed this in other games soon afterwards. For example, the bug is in KQ6 floppy but fixed in KQ6 CD. (KQ6 is unaffected because it doesn't use "blocks")

Just tested daily build and confirmed. Thank you for the quick fix!
